The SPiDER scanner is the only truly wireless, color, manhole inspection technology in such a lightweight and compact form, says Pierre Mikhail, director of CUES Manhole Inspection Division. 

“The SPiDER scanner provides a new outlook on how manhole data is collected and applied,” Mikhail says. “While other cameras and inspection devices use a payout reel to determine how deep the camera is in a manhole, the 13 kg, tetherless, self-contained SPiDER typically is deployed using a telescopic mast or tripod for stability.

“It is operated with a tablet computer which controls the scanners and lights. This technology frees manhole scanning from problems associated with inaccurate, poorly calibrated cable counters and poorly managed cables. SPiDER does not require a truck or data/ power cable for operational use. Scanning data is recorded on the unit.”
